Boogie Wipes: Snot Your Average Wipe
First to recommend
Description
Created by moms, these wipes are picking up speed. They are infused with saline and Vitamin E to help wipe away (by loosening) mucus. They sound absolutely great and it would seem preferable to try these before popping pills in a kid's mouth. (via coolmompicks.com)

Charlie's Soap - Laundry Powder
9 people recommended this item
Description
I've been using this for over a year now and I probably won't ever switch detergents again. For two people (with one whom goes through lots of clothes), two little bags have lasted us almost 6 months. I regret all those repeated purchases of big plastic tubs of chemicals. This comes down to common sense. A 3 lb. bag is good for 80 loads!
Biodegradable
No residue
Coconut-based (via Green Mom Finds)

Zanisa: Stiff and Sore Cream
First to recommend
Description
Ok, this sounds so enticing that I actually WANT some sore muscles! For those that have overworked their muscles or pulled something that shouldn't be pulled, then you know what comfort a sore cream is. Am I the only one that likes the smell of IceHot (not that I've needed it too many times). All natural and super-strength, with peppermint and tea tree oil.

Septarian Geode SoapRocks
First to recommend
Description
They say the soaprocks bring wonder to daily life. Indeed.
I'm not sure if I'm hypnotized by the beauty or the idea that as they are used, they will erode like a smoothed rock (as pointed out on their website). This would totally be worth 15 bucks. What a great gift idea.
Some ingredients include: aloe, vegetable glycerin, vitamin E and almond oil. There are 28 different "gems" to choose from. Each unique and gorgeous. (via Ideal Bite)

Repel : Lemon Eucalyptus Insect Repellent
First to recommend
Description
If you are like me - a world-class mosquito attractor, then you have searched high and low for a DEET-free spray. Well, while in Puerto Rico, we went on a night kayak trip to the biobay. The guides urged us to use this eucalyptus spray, saying it is strong (*whew! Indeed) and effective. DEET adversely affects the little glowing organisms (in addition, to us, as it is a probable carcinogen).
It's not easy to find though! Just shop around your city and you will eventually find it. Family safe and made from renewable resource (lemon eucalyptus). Would also be safe for pets, as dogs can get heartworm from mosquitoes.

Green Forest Bathroom Tissue

Ok, I'll admit ~ I buy lots of responsible stuff, but I'm not to purchasing TP online yet. But when I do, this would be the stuff. It was rated by Ideal Bite as being the softest and most environmentally friendly.

Pin Brush: Brushes
First to recommend
Description
Trying to rid plastic of one's life... it may be hardest in the bathroom! But alas, I've found a sustainable, wooden hair brush by none other than the Body Shop. Yes, there is a tiny bit of the P word at the base, but that is for cushion, so a certain amount of "comfort" is maintained.
FYI, what makes wood sustainable?
Well, it's certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC).
So what does this mean? A product uses (and can be tracked back to) material from an FSC-certified forest ---> this is a forest that is itself certified by many standards on being sustainable and maintains a level of biodiversity that otherwise would be diminished.
Does this mean that buying FSC is a mean to an end? Nope. Not to get into all the facts, but being FSC-certified definately helps out larger parcel owners compared to smaller forests owners. In addition, buying doesn't mean that deforestation isn't going to occur in the rainforests, as most of the certified forests are northern-hemisphere heavy. (via Ideal Bite)

I love all things cephalopod. If it's got eight legs and more chromatophores than stars in the sky... I'm there!
